This is a very comprehensive and detailed reference book for Office 2007. I have found it invaluable as a reference tool when I can't get Office to do something I want it to do. Just check in the index, read the very clear description and instructions and I am on my way!

VERY thick manual that is a book for both the beginner as well as the advanced user of Microsoft 2007

Of all the texts available on Amazon on Office 2007, I felt this was the most comprehensive and most articulately crafted reference guide available. It's amazingly versatile in its scope, drawing on a very eclectic and experienced range of experts in the Office field. The text is very user friendly, and covers ALL of the programs you would find in Office, just not the basics such as Word, or Excel, or Powerpoint. Every excercise is illustrated with a mirror image guide of what you would see on the screen as youwork along with it. It is a text that is very adaptable to the user, in that it could be used by a beginner, as well as someone looking to become very sophisticated in their usage of Office. For most people, this will be plenty, and there is a wonderful index in the back as well as a CD-ROM which has an amazing assortment of supplemental materials. I plan on using this to become more familiar with the basics of Office 2007 as well as a reference guide for my advanced business reporting in Excel and Access. As long as I own Office 2007 this will be the only reference I will need.

I find myself buying the InsideOut series, even if I have other books on a topic, because of the included eBook. I love the fact that I always have the information on my computer and can search it for whatever I need. This book is not very detailed, but it helped me with relative references in Excel just last week. I opened the eBook, searched for "relative reference" and found what I needed. Paid for the book, in my opinion. Oh, and I use the hardcover to page through and look for new information, when I have the time.

I have found this book very helpful.

While Microsoft Office made some of its applications more user friendly with the 2007 version, they also have put many of us who were very knowledgeable about the previous versions on a search for simple options such as Autocorrect. I think that this book does an excellent job at helping users discover where applications and functions are now and what microsoft has changed.

The book uses a lot of illustrations and figures/tables, to help the reader understand and know what they are looking for and at. This is one of the easiest books I have used for office in a long time especially for Microsoft Access. When it comes to more complex interface options with Access you might need a more specific and higher level book, but just to figure out where the hell everything is, this book is great.

I give it two thumbs up.

This book is pretty good for somebody that doesn't know anything about using Microsoft Office. If you are an advanced user, this book is too basic.

I have found this book a great reference for MS Office 2007, I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about MS Office 2007 from beginners to advanced users.
This is my second purchase from the inside out book series and having the book on CD is an excellent way to quickly search for references and easier to carry than the book while away from home/office.

Great book. A bit on the technical side, but an excellent learning and reference tool.

Made this purchase based on another review that said you can find out where everything went from 2003 to 2007. Not the case. This book was not worth the price and is not very helpful when you are really stuck. It may be helpful for a beginner. Seems to be focused more on layout and graphics than on document structure and content.

2007 Microsoft® Office System Inside Out

Excellent Book for Beginners to Intermediate Users

I don't normally read Office-related books as I've been a PC user and techie for so long. But with Office 2007 Microsoft changed so much I felt I needed a refresher. I hate the Ribbon toolbar btw, but Office 2007 does have many improvements.
